Michigan DNR force family farmers to kill their pigs
In an attempt to “standardize” pigs so that the big boys can control the market, just like in the case of raw milk vs. the Dairy industry, the Michigan DNR has sent its swat team to the farms in Michigan to wipe out the small family farmers furry herd. The reason they are “furry” is because they spend their time out in the light and nuzzling in the ground – naturally reared pigs. Unfortunately for them, right now, they do not look naked, pink and bold like pigs in Confined Animal Feeding Operations which we call Pigs on Ex-Lax.
The Pig stakeholder have cloned and GMO pig patents (Enviropig) in the wings ready to standardize, claim complete ownership and monopolize the market with biotech livestock. Meanwhile, there appears to be a plan to kill off the “natural” competition.
Monsanto: Poisoning farm workers-horrific birth defects
In a developing news piece just unleashed by a courthouse news wire, Monsanto is being brought to court by dozens of Argentinean tobacco farmers who say that the biotech giant knowingly poisoned them with herbicides and pesticides and subsequently caused ”devastating birth defects” in their children. The farmers are now suing not only Monsanto on behalf of their children, but many big tobacco giants as well. The birth defects that the farmers say occurred as a result are many, and include cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, psychomotor retardation, missing fingers, and blindness. Read more…

Killing Heritage pigs: Imposing a new breed!
The Enviropig™ was developed using specific gene sequences from mouse and e coli DNA, which were further modified to work in a pig. In combination, the genetic code would trigger the production of a digestive enzyme (secreted into the saliva) not found in domesticated hogs.
The genetic material was inserted into a fertilized pig embryo via microinjection. In turn, the embryo was surgically implanted into the reproductive tract of a sow, and born about four months later. When mature, the genetically modified pig was crossed with a conventional pig, and about half of the offspring exhibited the new, stable, modified gene. The Enviropig is now in its eighth generation. Questions and Answers from the creator of Enviropig.

| GM foods lead to significant organ disruptions in rats and mice, specifically the kidney, liver, heart and spleen | Several U.S. farmers reported sterility or fertility problems among pigs and cows fed on GM corn varieties |
| Bt corn caused a wide variety of immune responses in mice, commonly associated with diseases such as arthritis, Lou Gehrig’s disease, osteoporosis, and inflammatory bowel disease | Investigators in India have documented fertility problems, abortions, premature births, and other serious health issues, including deaths, among buffaloes fed GM cottonseed products |
